Very nice choice of play thing you got there Michele. You are gonna have some mad fun with that.

I see it's sporting avons,,,is that your doing or has it been used already for hillclimbs?.

Are you going to do the NSW champs in it?.

You will need to build up your wrists as well.

I haven't driven it yet :D the Avons were on it.

First I'm hoping to learn how to drive it and do some small events and if all goes well (and a long way down the track) I would like to have a crack at OzBOSS, but I don't want to get ahead myself as I know I have a steep learning curve to go through.

So in the meantime, Wakefield and the local hillclimb.

What are you runnning in?

I'll be doing all the state hillclimb champ events,,,the state supersprint ones and a bunch of track days. You should do the state supersprints,,,that car of yours would be an absolute ball at O/P and E/C.

Do you have anybody to help you look after it and did you get any equipment with it. Not trying to be nosey,,,just interested.

Nothing with it, well, not if you don't count the wets he threw in which were perished anyway. Erol Richardson has been wonderful and is helping me set it up. He's helping me get set up with an AIM data dash/logger, seat, pedal position etc. I don't think I would have attempted it without his help. Is there a supersprint category for these things? Track days sound great, can't wait to get this girl up to OP and EC :D:):O

The person I bought it off never transferred the log book, so I'm going through all that at the moment too, stat decs, forms, photos, JP's sheesh, you know what CAMS red tape is like. I understand this car used to belong to Tony Stephens (Darlington Park Raceway) although he didn't have a log book for it either according to CAMS and the log book number stamped on the car.

If you're doing the state rounds, you're going to be here too, so look me up, there's always a bunk for friends here if you need it.

yeah it runs in formula libre in hillclimbs and supersprints. will be interesting to see how both the FH and the radical handle some of the bumpier hillclimb tracks

Yeah, I'm worried about the transition onto the track down here, I imagine it would be much the same at King Edward Park too where you go up through the garden and back onto the track.

If you see me looking for material to line the bottom of my car... you'll know what happened LOL

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
